WASHINGTON (AP) – Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao is resigning effective Monday, becoming the highest ranking member of President Donald Trump’s administration to resign in protest after the pro-Trump insurrection at Capitol.
In a statement Thursday, Chao, who is married to Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, said the violent attack on the Capitol “has deeply troubled me in a way that I simply cannot set aside.”
She said her department will continue to cooperate with President-elect Joe Biden’s designated nominee to head the department, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Sinclair Broadcast Group says it is ending its ‘America This Week’ show with former Fox News personality Eric Bolling.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California’s state epidemiologist is urging a halt to more than 300,000 COVID-19 vaccinations using a Moderna version because some people who got it needed medical treatment for possible severe allergic reactions. Dr. Erica S. Pan is recommending that vaccine providers stop using one lot of the Moderna vaccine pending completion of an investigation. She says less than 10 people who got the shots at a single vaccination site needed medical attention. But she also says serious reactions to vaccinations are extremely rare. The virus has claimed more than 33,000 lives in California

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A U.S. Navy SEAL has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter for his role in the hazing death of a U.S. Army Green Beret in Africa. Chief Petty Officer Tony DeDolph pleaded guilty Thursday in a military courtroom at a Navy base in Norfolk, Virginia. The Green Beret who died was Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar. DeDolph offered a detailed account of the night in 2017 when he and other services members tried to prank Melgar over perceived slights. DeDolph said he placed Melgar in a chokehold to make him temporarily lose consciousness. But he said Melgar never woke up. DeDolph faces a maximum of 22 1/2 years in prison. Three other American servicemembers were also charged.

ATLANTA (AP) — A reporter and photojournalist were kicked out of a public town hall event and threatened with arrest for trying to ask a question of U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene is a freshman Republican lawmaker from Georgia who has come under heavy criticism for supporting social media posts that advocated violence against Democratic officials. The journalists from WRCB-TV were removed from the public town hall event in Dalton, Georgia, on Wednesday. A spokesman for Greene defended the action, saying the town hall was for constituents and not a press conference. WRCB-TV news director Callie Starnes tells The Associated Press that the journalists were invited to attend the event and given credentials for it.

Senate Democratic leader calls for Trump to immediately be removed from office

WASHINGTON (WQOW) - The Senate Democratic leader is calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment.
While the idea of invoking the 25th Amendment was thrown around on Wednesday, the announcement from Chuck Schumer (D-New York) is the first time a major political leader has come out publicly with the idea.
"What happened at the U.S. Capitol yesterday was an insurrection against the United States incited by the president. This president should not hold office one day longer," Schumer said.
Schumer went on to say the quickest and most effective way to remove the president is to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would make VP Mike Pence the president.
"If the vice president and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president," Schumer said.
This comes a day after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington, forcing a lockdown and a several-hour delay in certification of the Electoral College vote.
Four people were killed.

Though stripped of his Twitter megaphone, President Donald Trump does have alternative options of much smaller reach. They are led by the far right-friendly Parler, though that’s getting increasingly difficult. Parler has already had its wings clipped, however. Google and Apple have removed it from their online stores and Amazon has kicked it off its web-hosting service. Free speech experts anticipate growing pressure on all social media platforms to curb incendiary speech as Americans learn from Wednesday’s violent takeover of the U.S. Capitol by a Trump-incited mob.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Larry King, who interviewed presidents, movie stars and ordinary Joes during a half-century in broadcasting, has died at age 87.
Ora Media, the studio and network he co-founded, tweeted that King died Saturday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. No cause of death was given, but CNN had earlier reported he was hospitalized with COVID-19.
King was a nightly fixture on CNN from 1985 through 2010. He won two Peabody Awards but made no claims to being an intellectual. He preferred to ask presidents what they liked about their jobs rather than their foreign policy. He welcomed everyone from the Dalai Lama to Elizabeth Taylor.

The results come as there was also no winner of the Mega Millions jackpot on Friday. That top prize is now estimated at $850 million. It’s been nearly two years since a lottery jackpot has grown so large. The Powerball’s $730 million top prize would be the fifth-largest ever if a lottery player strikes big in Wednesday’s drawing. The Mega Millions’ $850 million jackpot would be the third-largest ever for the drawing on Tuesday.

Asian shares mostly lower, China gains on GDP rebound

Shares have fallen across most of Asia following a retreat on Wall Street, but benchmarks in Hong Kong and Shanghai rose after data showed the Chinese economy grew a solid 2.3% in 2020. Investors have grown wary with reports showing deepening economic devastation from the pandemic. The S&P 500 fell 0.7% Friday, with stocks of companies that most need a healthier economy taking some of the sharpest losses. Treasury yields also dipped as reports showed shoppers held back on spending during the holidays and are feeling less confident. Overall, stocks seem to have run out of steam since setting a record a week before on optimism over COVID-19 vaccines and more stimulus from Washington.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The United States ambassador to South Africa, Lana Marks, said she spent 10 days in a South African hospital’s intensive care unit with COVID-19 and is now recuperating at her residence. After first experiencing fever, chills, a sore throat and fatigue, Marks said in a statement on Twitter that when her symptoms worsened she went into a hospital on Dec. 28. She was quickly moved to an intensive care unit where she stayed for 10 days and then spent a further three days in the COVID-19 unit. Marks said she was discharged late last week and is continuing to recuperate at the ambassador’s residence.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — A former Michigan resident has gotten hundreds of calls and texts from President Donald Trump supporters, demanding that the legislature reverse his defeat in the state. But the person getting the messages isn’t a legislator an no longer lives in Michigan. In social media postings, the Trump campaign listed phone numbers for Michigan’s Senate majority leader and former House speaker. But the former House leader’s number actually belongs to a person who moved to California months ago. President-elect Joe Biden, a Democrat, carried Michigan and has been awarded the state’s 16 electoral votes.

RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Morocco’s King Mohammed VI has received a shot against the coronavirus to officially kick off his country’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign. The monarch got jabbed in the arm on Thursday at his palace in Fez. ,Morocco received its first vaccine shipments in recent days from China’s Sinopharm and Anglo-Swedish drugmaker AstraZeneca. The North African kingdom is first vaccinating health care workers, security forces, and people over age 75. Morocco has one of Africa’s most advanced vaccination programs, though the continent remains well behind richer countries in inoculating residents against the virus. Morocco has reported more than 468,383 confirmed cases, including 8,207 deaths.

The independent senator says multiple groups will benefit from the proceeds, including Meals on Wheels and Vermont community action agencies. He also says Getty Images will donate proceeds as part of a licensing agreement.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Central African Republic is warning that the country risks a setback in efforts to restore peace because of rebel attacks. Mankeur Ndiaye called Thursday for “a substantial increase” of U.N. peacekeepers to protect civilians and ensure delivery of humanitarian aid. He told the U.N. Security Council that a new rebel coalition has launched an offensive attacking “any display of state power, whether it be officials or members of security forces.” He says seven U.N. peacekeepers have been killed in recent weeks. Ndiaye says violence that preceded the Dec. 27 presidential election has escalated.

KINGMAN, Alberta (AP) — Playing hockey on a frozen pond is an indelible part of the sport’s roots. A warming climate in Canada and other places is threatening the very existence of outdoor hockey. Experts say and studies have shown fewer freezing days and less ice coverage in the winter over the past several decades. The future suggests it will become much more more challenging to maintain rinks on ponds and lakes. In places like Kingman and Sylvan Lake, Alberta, residents are keeping the tradition alive even if the skating season is shorter than it used to be.

Asian stocks rise after Wall Street hits new high

BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets have risen on 2021’s first trading day, boosted by optimism about the rollout of coronavirus vaccines after Wall Street ended the year on a new high. Market benchmarks in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Seoul and Sydney advanced. Tokyo declined after Japan’s prime minister said the government was considering declaring a state of emergency for Tokyo and three surrounding prefectures due to soaring virus caseloads. Vaccine development by U.S., European and Chinese producers has raised hopes that a return to normal might be closer after the global economy’s worst decline since the 1930s. That is countering concern about rising infection numbers in the United States and some other countries and conflict in Washington over economic aid.

Cold doesn't begin to describe what people felt in and near Cameron, WI on January 9, 1977 when temps fell to an unofficial -60 degrees.

On this date in history: -60° temperature reported in Cameron, WI
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
It was on January 9, 1977 at 7:30am that Barron County Undersheriff Jerry Johnson reported a temperature of -60 degrees at his home on the north side of Cameron. It is known as the unofficial coldest temperature recorded anywhere in the state of Wisconsin. That's according to several articles from the Rice Lake Chronotype, including one from 2017 written by Dave Greschner.
That -60 degree temp is not considered official because it didn't pass the National Weather Service's strict guidelines on quality control. The other confirmed reports from the area were much 'warmer', closer to -40 and as cold as -50 further north near Stone Lake, which is about 15 miles east of Spooner. There were other local reports reported by Rice Lake Chronotype in the flat area east of Cameron in the Canton area of temperatures between -50 and -60, but there were only a handful of these reports.
Another issue according to the Rice Lake Chronotype was that the official thermometer at the old Rice Lake Airport near Moon Lake froze and broke. Greschner reported in 2017 that the airport manager in charge of relaying the weather conditions to the NWS, Carl Rindlisbacher, had no choice but to report -44 degrees as it was the last reading before the thermometer broke. Even though he wanted to believe the Undersheriff's report of -60, the official rules of reporting meant he had to report the low temperature as the lowest that he saw, which was -44.
Still, stories from that day show that the temperature was much colder than a "normal" burst of extremely cold arctic temperatures as there were reports of furnace oil gelling up, tires frozen with flat spots from where they were parked and riding bouncy as a result. That was, of course, for the cars that even managed to start.
Other temperature reports from that day in the map below are provided from the Twin Cities NWS office. It shows a low of -39 in Eau Claire, -44 near Amery, and other reports between -35 and -50 in northwestern Wisconsin.
The official record coldest temperature in the state of Wisconsin is -55 from 7 miles west of Couderay on February 4, 1996. While that's the official record, those that lived near Rice Lake and Cameron on January 9, 1977 will know what they lived through, and it's very real to them.
Buttons and bumper stickers were created due to the popularity of the topic in the area. Photo courtesy of Larry Quinn
As for this meteorologist, I do believe the reading on Undersheriff Johnson's thermometer of -60. I'd like to run some tests and/or do some more research on some of those stories. I'd like to figure out what temperature would cause a tire of the 1970s to freeze in a flattened shape and the freeze point of the specific blend of heating oil used in that era. Maybe that'll be a good story to work on for next year on the 45th anniversary of this frigid, frigid day in history.

Enduring 2nd impeachment, Trump stands largely silent, alone
| null | null |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s place in the history books has been rewritten and on Wednesday, as the House voted to impeach him, the president faced his unprecedented second impeachment largely alone and silent. For more than four years, Trump has dominated the national discourse like no one before him. Yet when his legacy was set in stone with the House vote, he was left on the sidelines. Trump kept out of sight in a nearly empty White House as impeachment proceedings played out at the heavily fortified U.S. Capitol. The suspension of his Twitter account deprived Trump of his most potent means to keep Republicans in line.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — In a story January 18, 2021, about the inauguration, The Associated Press erroneously reported that 200,000 small flags displayed on the National Mall were placed there to honor the nearly 400,000 Americans killed in the coronavirus pandemic. The flag were designed to represent people who couldn’t come to the inauguration, not COVID deaths.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Britain’s new U.N. ambassador says the government is feeling “gung ho” about continuing its role as an important player on the world stage despite its exit from the European Union. Barbara Woodward pointed to the United Kingdom’s permanent seat on the powerful U.N. Security Council, its presidency this year of the Group of Seven major industrialized nations, and its membership in the Group of 20 leading economic powers and NATO. It is also hosting the next U.N. global climate summit, being held in Scotland in November. And, she says in an Associated Press interview: “Don’t underestimate the power of the relationship with the EU.”

LONDON (AP) — British police say officers are dealing with an “incident” on an industrial complex in Wales where doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine are produced and stored. North Wales Police said the incident was ongoing at the Wrexham Industrial Estate, 42 miles (68 kilometers) south of Liverpool. The force said Wednesday roads nearby were closed and asked the public to avoid the area. The BBC reported that a bomb disposal unit has been called to deal with a suspicious package, and said there were no reports of injuries. Wockhardt UK, an arm of the Mumbai-based pharmaceutical company that is producing the vaccines at the Wrexham manufacturing site, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Rare purple sunrise this morning is an indication that clouds are thinning
| null | null |
wqow.com

We received an interesting photo taken this morning in Eau Claire. Jim Lagergren took the picture showing a purple sky around sunrise this morning. This is not a common phenomenon, but it makes me think that the clouds continue to thin, which is a good sign for those waiting for sunshine to return.
What's going on here is enough light is passing through the clouds. Different colors show up at different times in the sky, based on how much light is making it to the surface and what particles are in the atmosphere to scatter different colors of light, since each color has a slightly different wavelength that reacts differently to being reflected or bent.
The sky normally looks blue, and that light was making it through our thinning clouds. In addition, we can get sunrises and sunsets that look red, orange, and/or pink. I think this is also happening in this picture. With both of the colors combined, the sky looked purple! This is a lot more common around the time of a hurricane passing through based on the amount of water droplets in the clouds, among other things, scattering light, but that's not what's happening in this case.
Another indication that the clouds are thinning is we had more energy from the sun is making it through the clouds, indicated by high temperatures being warmer than they were over the past few days. They topped out in the mid to upper 20s.
Our visibility continues to improve, and it's now the second day in a row with no Dense Fog Advisories in our area of Western Wisconsin. Advisories are again in place in Minnesota near the Twin Cities, however. Expect the clouds to continue to thin out, giving a chance to see sunshine as early as tomorrow, but chances are better for partial clearing Sunday afternoon.
We continue to trend both dry and warmer than average, but a cold front expected Wednesday night into Thursday could change both those trends. Chances for mix and snow begin Wednesday night then linger through Friday as temperatures start to drop, and there are hints that the following week could have some bursts of arctic air.

Zimbabwe court denies bail for journalist over false story

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — A Zimbabwean court has denied bail to prominent journalist Hopewell Chin’ono, who has been in detention for almost a week on accusations of publishing a falsehood. The magistrate ruled that Chin’ono could commit similar crimes if released on bail, citing two other cases in which, like the current one, the journalist was arrested for items he posted on Twitter. His lawyers said they will appeal. Chin’ono is being held at the harsh Chikurubi prison on the outskirts of the capital, Harare. He was arrested last week for posting that police had killed an infant while enforcing lockdown rules. Police later said the information was false and the baby is alive.

No need to wait til midnight to celebrate the end of this year. Families, early sleepers and those social distancing might consider a small midday celebration for December 31. Entertaining gurus say it’s easy to bring the festive feeling of a nighttime soiree into the daylight hours for your household or online friends. Themes might include a British-style high tea party or a so-called “Noon Year’s Brunch.” Ask everyone to wear fun hats, tiaras or crowns. If you’re outside, don’t forget the blankets. And depending on your timing, you can still ring in the new year with noisemakers as the clock strikes 12 in other countries around the world.

WASHINGTON (AP) — On his way out the door, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has lashed out anew at China by declaring that its policies on Muslims and ethnic minorities in western Xinjiang region constitute a “genocide.” Pompeo made the determination on Tuesday just 24 hours before President-elect Joe Biden takes office. There was no immediate response from the incoming Biden team although several members have been sympathetic to such a designation in the past. Pompeo’s determination does not come with any immediate repercussions although it means the U.S. must take the designation into account in formulating policy toward China. China says its policies in Xinjiang aim only to promote economic and social development in the region.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — News that the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine has shown about 60% efficacy on HIV-positive patients and that it seems to work against the variant of the virus now dominant in South Africa is being welcomed with relief in the country. But further studies are urged. Results from a small Novavax Inc. study in South Africa suggest the vaccine does work but not nearly as well as it does against the variant from Britain. In South Africa, the new variant now causes more than 90% of new cases and it more infectious than the original virus.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A confirmation hearing for President-elect Joe Biden’s pick for national intelligence director has been postponed until next week. That’s according to leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Avril Haines, a former CIA deputy director and former deputy national security adviser in the Obama administration, was to have appeared Friday before the committee. But a person familiar with the process tells The Associated Press that the evening before the hearing, it was postponed until next week after at least one of the committee members objected to holding it on an expedited basis.

French doctor who made Down discovery closer to sainthood

ROME (AP) — The French doctor who discovered the genetic basis of Down syndrome but spent his career advocating against abortion as a result of prenatal diagnosis has taken his first major step to possible sainthood. Pope Francis on Thursday approved the “heroic virtues” of Dr. Jerome Lejeune. The doctor-advocate lived from 1926-1994 and was particularly esteemed by St. John Paul II for his anti-abortion stance. The papal recognition of Lejeune’s virtues means that he is considered “venerable” by the Catholic Church. The Vatican must now confirm a miracle attributed to his intercession for him to be beatified, and a second one for him to be declared a saint.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In his first hours as president, Joe Biden on Wednesday will aim to strike at the heart of President Donald Trump’s policy legacy. Aides say Biden plans to sign a series of executive actions that reverse his predecessor’s orders on immigration, climate change and handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Biden also is expected to end construction on Trump’s U.S.-Mexico border wall, end the ban on travel from some Muslim-majority countries, rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization and revoke the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline.

DETROIT (AP) — Nine Roman Catholic nuns in southern Michigan have died in January due to a COVID-19 outbreak at their retirement home. The women lived at the headquarters campus of the Adrian Dominican Sisters in Adrian, 75 miles southwest of Detroit. Spokeswoman Angela Kessler says the Adrian Dominican Sisters went for months without a single case. Two weeks ago, the religious order announced an outbreak. It says “stringent protocols,” including quarantines, are being followed. More than 200 sisters who are retired from active ministry live in Adrian. COVID-19 has been cited in the deaths of dozens of retired or infirm nuns living in congregate settings.

France's Sanofi to help make rival vaccine
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
PARIS — French drug maker Sanofi says it will help manufacture 125 million doses of the coronavirus vaccine developed by rivals Pfizer and BioNTech, while its own vaccine candidate faces delays.
Germany-based BioNTech will initially produce the vaccines at Sanofi facilities in Frankfurt, starting in the summer, according to a Sanofi statement Wednesday. The company did not reveal financial details of the agreement.
The French government has been pressing Sanofi to use its facilities to help make rival vaccines, given high demand and problems with supplies of the few vaccines that are already available.
Sanofi and British partner GlaxoSmithKline will start a new phase-2 trial of their COVID-19 vaccine next month, Sanofi said. The two companies said last month that their vaccine won’t be ready until late 2021 because the shot’s effectiveness in older people needed to be improved.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
BEIJING — China has given more than 22 million coronavirus vaccine shots to date as it carries out a drive ahead of next month’s Lunar New Year holiday, health authorities said Wednesday.
The effort, which began six weeks ago, targets key groups such as medical and transport workers and has accelerated vaccinations in China. About 1.6 million doses had been given over several months before the campaign began.
“The carrying out of vaccination has been ongoing in a steady and orderly manner,” Zeng Yixin, vice chairman of the National Health Commission Said at a news conference.
He said that 22.76 million doses had been administered as of Tuesday. It’s not clear how many people that represents since the vaccine is given in two doses, and some may have received their second shot.
China, which largely stopped the spread of the virus last spring, has seen fresh outbreaks this winter in four northern provinces. About 1,800 new cases have been reported since mid-December, including two deaths.
Authorities are strongly discouraging people from traveling during the Lunar New Year holiday, a time when Chinese traditionally return to their hometowns for family gatherings.

NEW DELHI — India has vaccinated 2 million health workers in less than two weeks and recorded 12,689 new coronavirus positive cases in the past 24 hours, a sharp decline from a peak level of nearly 100,000 in mid-September.
The health Ministry said the daily new cases had fallen below 10,000 on Tuesday with 9,102 cases. The daily new positive cases were 9,304 on June 4 last year.
India’s fatalities dropped to 137 in the past 24 hours from a peak level of 1,089 daily deaths in September. India’s total positive cases since the start of the epidemic have reached 10.6 million, the second highest after the United States with 25.43 million cases.
India started inoculating health workers on Jan. 16 in what is likely the world’s largest COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
India is home to the world’s largest vaccine makers. Authorities hope to give shots to 300 million people. The recipients include 30 million doctors, nurses and other front-line workers.
___
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea has reported new 559 cases of the coronavirus, its highest daily increase in 10 days, as health workers scrambled to slow transmissions at religious facilities, which have been a major source of infections throughout the pandemic.
The figures released by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency on Wednesday brought the national caseload to 76,429, including 1,378 deaths.
The agency said 112 of the new cases came from the southwestern city of Gwangju where more than 100 infections have so far been linked to a missionary training school. An affiliated facility in the central city of Daejeon has been linked to more 170 infections.
Nearly 300 of the new cases came from the Seoul metropolitan area, home to half of the country’s 51 million people, where infections have been tied to various places, including churches, restaurants, schools and offices.

JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska has detected the state’s first known case of the coronavirus variant identified last year in the United Kingdom, officials said Tuesday.
The infected person is an Anchorage resident who had traveled to a state where the variant had already been detected, the Alaska health department said. The person first experienced symptoms on Dec. 17, was tested three days later and received a positive result on Dec. 22.
The resident lived with another person in Anchorage, who also became ill. Both isolated and have since recovered, officials said.
It was not yet clear if the second person also was infected with the variant.
Dr. Joe McLaughlin, the state epidemiologist, said in a news release that the discovery of the variant is not surprising because viruses “constantly change through mutation.”
He said this is one of several “variants that has been carefully tracked because it appears to spread more easily and quickly than other strains of the virus.”
Dr. Anne Zink, Alaska’s chief medical officer, said it is likely the variant will be detected again soon.
___
BOSTON — In his annual State of the Commonwealth address, Republican Gov. Charlie Baker defended his vaccine distribution plan, which some have criticized for being confusing and too narrowly focused at first.
Baker said the state is prepared to distribute and administer all the vaccine shots delivered by the federal government and is rapidly expanding the number of vaccination sites.
“Vaccinating 4 million adults in Massachusetts as the doses are allocated by the federal government is not going to be easy. But be assured that we will make every effort to get this done as quickly and efficiently as possible,” he said. “We can only move as fast as the federal government delivers the vaccines.”
___
SEATTLE – Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Tuesday touted big improvements in distributing the COVID-19 vaccines, but he also urged residents to remain vigilant as new, more contagious variants of the disease spread in the state.
Inslee said more than 36,000 doses were administered in Washington on Sunday and 39,000 on Monday — a big jump from about 16,000 a week earlier, and on the way toward the state’s goal of 45,000 per day.
The number of vaccines actually administered could be even higher, given lags in reporting, but as of Monday more than 500,000 doses had been administered statewide, with four mass vaccination sites due to open this week.
President Joe Biden announced Tuesday the federal government is boosting vaccine supplies to the states by 16% over the next three weeks, giving states more certainty about upcoming deliveries than the one-week notice the Trump administration had been providing.

UK judge to decide on bail for WikiLeaks' imprisoned Assange

LONDON (AP) — A British judge is set to decide whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will be released from the prison where he has been held for more than a year and a half as he fights extradition to the United States. Assange has been detained at London’s high-security Belmarsh Prison since April 2019, when he was arrested for skipping bail during a separate legal battle. District Judge Vanessa Baraitser will preside over a bail hearing two days after she rejected an American request to send Assange to the U.S. to face espionage charges over WikiLeaks’ publication of secret military documents a decade ago. The judge said Assange is likely to kill himself if held under harsh U.S. prison conditions.

Sen. Ron Johnson does not object Arizona's electoral votes
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
(WQOW) - The U.S. Senate rejected the challenge to Joe Biden's election win in Arizona. Wednesday evening, Sen. Ron Johnson did not vote in favor of the objection, because of the violence that unfolded at the U.S. Capitol.
Sen. Johnson released the speech he was going to deliver on the Senate floor Wednesday. He said by consensus, the Senate decided to expedite the proceedings. The following is Sen. Johnson's speech:
I refuse to dismiss the legitimate concerns of tens of millions of Americans who have lost faith in our institutions and the fairness of our electoral process.
Those who have lost confidence are not crazy. They are patriots who dearly love America and are alarmed by what they have witnessed over the last four years: a thoroughly corrupt FBI investigation of a duly elected president; a grossly biased media that has chosen sides and uses its power to interfere in our politics to a far greater extent than any foreign entity could ever hope to achieve; an increasingly powerful social media that censors news and conservative voices; and courts and election officials that usurp the constitutional authority of state legislatures in setting the times, places, and manner of holding elections.
Prior to election day, these patriots were reminded of the Carter-Baker Commission’s caution regarding absentee balloting: “Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud,” and then they saw Covid being exploited to dramatically increase the use of absentee voting and extensive efforts to simultaneously weaken the controls governing it. They also hear that one of the social media moguls, Mark Zuckerberg, spent almost half a billion dollars to increase Democrat turnout in Democrat-controlled jurisdictions, and they wonder, “Is that even legal?”
Then on election day, they saw poll watchers being thrown out or obstructed from observing. They heard reports of dead people voting, votes being cast by people who have moved out of state or reside at vacant addresses, people voting twice, once by absentee ballot and once in person, of large Democrat-controlled counties waiting until after Republican counties have reported and then dumping their vote totals in the wee hours of the morning, election officials and others refusing to turn over evidence to those investigating irregularities, and courts refusing to hear what evidence was obtained and instead dismissing election challenges on procedural grounds.
Is it any wonder that so many have lost confidence in the fairness of our election system and question the legitimacy of the result?
The first step in solving any problem is admitting you have one. My support for a bipartisan commission to address electoral concerns is meant to acknowledge the problem and highlight that having a large percentage of Americans questioning the legitimacy of our elections is a dangerous reality that must be addressed.
This is not a problem that can be swept under the rug with the hope it will somehow solve itself. I recognized this early and held a hearing in December, but was only able to scratch the surface of the issues involved. Unless the election irregularities are fully investigated and explanations provided, I fear this problem will fester within the body politic and could lead to even greater rancor and division.
While I am sympathetic and agree with many of the constitutional concerns raised by people on both sides of the political spectrum, I sincerely hope this debate will serve as a wake-up call to state legislatures to recognize the legitimacy of these concerns, fully investigate the irregularities in their states, reassert their authority over federal elections, and establish controls to restore confidence in our election system. The solution lies in the states, not with the federal government.
For the future unity of our nation, it is crucial that states properly shoulder their responsibility, take the action required, and alleviate any doubt that future elections will be fair and legitimate.

Bus crash in western Cameroon kills more than 50 passengers
| null | null |
wqow.com

YAOUNDE, Cameroon (AP) — At least 53 people have died and 21 others were injured after a bus collided with a truck early Wednesday in a village in Cameroon’s west, officials say. Awa Fonka Augustine, the governor of the West Region of Cameroon, confirmed the accident in the village of Santchou, saying survivors were rushed to the western commercial town of Dschang as well as Bafoussam. The truck was illegally transporting fuel and ran into the bus, he said. The truck driver, however, escaped after the crash and Augustine said he has called for his arrest. Road accidents are common in Cameroon. The government blames wreckless drivers and the poor state of vehicles, while drivers blame the poor state of the roads.

"YAOUNDE, Cameroon (AP) — At least 53 people have died and 21 others were injured after a bus collided with a truck early Wednesday in a village in Cameroon’s west, officials say. Awa Fonka Augustine, the governor of the West Region of Cameroon, confirmed the accident in the village of Santchou, saying survivors were rushed to the western commercial town of Dschang as well as Bafoussam. The truck was illegally transporting fuel and ran into the bus, he said. The truck driver, however, escaped after the crash and Augustine said he has called for his arrest. Road accidents are common in Cameroon. The government blames wreckless drivers and the poor state of vehicles, while drivers blame the poor state of the roads.",

(WQOW) - If you were out and about this weekend, you may have noticed a beautiful coating of frost on the trees. Freezing fog left a white coating on all kinds of surfaces like trees, fences and even people's Christmas decorations.
This coating of tiny white needles is called rime ice, which is different than another phenomenon you may have heard of called hoar frost.
Fog is made up of tiny water droplets, and when temperatures are below freezing, like they were this weekend, those droplets will freeze to solid surfaces like trees, creating the beautiful needles of rime ice.
Hoar frost on the other hand, often forms on clear, cold nights. It forms similarly to dew, except the water vapor in the air skips the liquid stage and freezes directly onto surfaces, creating a series of interlocking crystals.
We would love to see your photos. You can email those to us at [email protected].

NEW YORK (AP) — The revelry and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds that typify Times Square on New Year’s Eve were replaced by empty streets and an eerie quiet as the final moments of 2020 ticked away. Some celebrity performers took to stages set up in the mostly empty square to sing to a small group of masked essential workers. In the final minutes before midnight, Jennifer Lopez sang the Aerosmith classic “Dream On” beneath a blast of confetti. Spectators were banned from the area and were urged to watch the ball drop on television. Still, modest throngs of people gathered just outside the police perimeter and kissed and cheered at the stroke of midnight.

LONDON (AP) — Eight fire engines have been sent to put out a fire at a coronavirus-afflicted former army barracks in southeast England where hundreds of asylum seekers have been living. Police said there have been no reported injuries and the investigation over the cause of the fire is ongoing. Fire and police responded to the incident Friday in the Kent coastal town of Folkestone. The site has been used to house about 400 asylum seekers since September last year, despite concerns over conditions. The fire comes after more than 18,000 people signed a petition to shut down the barracks amid concerns over conditions inside. Concerns have escalated this week following reports that around 120 residents tested positive for coronavirus.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say a motorist fatally struck one person and hit other people along streets and sidewalks in Portland, Oregon, before he fled on foot and was arrested. Police say one person who was hit Monday died at a hospital. Five other people were hurt and taken to hospitals. Authorities said they believe more people were hurt who did not need ambulance transport. Police received a call shortly after 1 p.m. that a driver had hit a pedestrian in the Southeastern part of the city. Additional calls then came from people saying a person driving the same suspect vehicle, a Honda Element, was striking other people and vehicles.

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese authorities have asked residents in two cities south of Beijing to stay home for seven days as they try to stamp out a COVID-19 outbreak in which more than 300 people have tested positive in the past week. The cities in Hebei province are restricting people to their communities and villages and have banned gatherings. Hebei reported 14 more confirmed cases in the latest 24-hour period, bringing the total in the ongoing outbreak to 137. It has found another 197 people without symptoms who tested positive. China does not include such asymptomatic cases in its confirmed count. Beijing is requiring workers from Hebei to show proof of employment in Beijing and a negative test. Chinese media reported hours-long backups at entry points.

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - An Eau Claire man arrested for driving drunk with his three kids in the car is going to jail.
Wednesday Judge Michael Schumacher sentenced Andrew Dewitt to 110 days in jail for third offense drunk driving. He was also fined and lost his drivers license for two and a half years.
Dewitt was arrested last March for driving with an alcohol level two and a half times the legal limit. Police say three kids were in the car - the youngest was four years old.
If Dewitt doesn't break any laws for two years, a felony charge of recklessly endangering safety will be dismissed.

WOODSTOCK, Ohio (AP) — The tiny town of Woodstock, Ohio, was base for two people who allegedly played big roles in the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol. Residents are still trying to understand how that happened in their don’t blink-or-you’ll-miss-it, one-stoplight burg. It’s the now-shuttered Jolly Roger Bar & Grill that brought the FBI and other investigators to Woodstock in western Ohio. Federal authorities say Army veteran Jessica Watkins tended the bar and recruited members for a local militia group she has said she founded in 2019 and commanded. She and group member Donovan Crowl are now facing years behind prison bars.

Tensions rise as AstraZeneca, EU spar over vaccine delays

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union and drugmaker AstraZeneca sparred Wednesday over a delay in coronavirus vaccine deliveries as the deepening dispute raises concerns about the increasing competition for limited supplies of shots needed to end the pandemic. AstraZeneca Chief Executive Pascal Soriot addressed the dispute for the first time, rejecting the EU’s assertion that the company was failing to honor its commitments. Soriot said vaccine delivery figures in AstraZeneca’s contract with the 27-nation bloc were targets, not firm commitments, and they couldn’t be met because of problems in rapidly expanding production capacity.

Epstein's ex-girlfriend seeks dismissal of charges she faces

NEW YORK (AP) — A British socialite charged with recruiting girls for financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse in the 1990s is asking a judge to dismiss the case on multiple grounds. Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell say the indictment against their client was obtained unjustly and doesn’t properly allege crimes. They said it also violates an agreement federal prosecutors made a dozen years ago not to charge Epstein or those who worked for him. Maxwell was arrested in July and has remained jailed on the grounds that she might flee. Federal prosecutors declined through a spokesperson to comment though they will later file arguments of their own in response. A trial is scheduled for July. Epstein killed himself in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

BOSTON (AP) — Though stripped of his Twitter megaphone, President Donald Trump does have alternative options of much smaller reach. They are led by the far right-friendly Parler. Trump may also launch his own platform. But that won’t happen overnight, and free speech experts anticipate growing pressure on all social media platforms to curb incendiary speech as Americans learn from Wednesday’s violent takeover of the U.S. Capitol by a Trump-incited mob. Parler has already had its wings clipped, however. Google and Apple have removed it from their online stores and Amazon is kicking it off its web-hosting service.

After years of work, Abrams takes victory lap in Georgia

ATLANTA (AP) — Stacey Abrams spent years trying to convince Democratic Party leaders that an untapped well of potential voters could upend Republican domination in the state. After disappointments including her own narrow defeat for governor in 2018, she is being credited with laying the organizational groundwork that helped Democrats capture the state’s two Senate seats. Those victories propelled the party into the Senate majority and follow Joe Biden’s win in November. The turnabout leaves Abrams as perhaps the nation’s most popular, influential Democrat not in elected office. It gives the 47-year-old voting rights advocate considerable momentum for whatever comes next — most likely a rematch with Gov. Brian Kemp in 2022.

NEW YORK (AP) — Journalists, particularly photographers, are telling stories about being manhandled and threatened by supporters of President Donald Trump while covering the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. Video emerged on social media of an Associated Press photographer being violently shoved around by demonstrators outside of the Capitol, only being led away after convincing someone in the crowd that he wasn’t affiliated by the left-wing Antifa group. The National Press Photographers Association called on authorities to investigate and prosecute those involved in attacking journalists. In one image, the words “Murder the Media” were left scrawled on an indoor doorway at the Capitol.

Beleaguered Armenian PM stays away from church on Christmas

YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — Armenia’s prime minister has stayed away from Christmas services following harsh criticism from the country’s dominant Orthodox Christian church in connection with the recent war with Azerbaijan. A spokesman said Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was self-isolating due to the coronavirus pandemic. Pashinyan contracted the virus in June, and it’s not clear if he has been reinfected. The prime minister has been widely denounced in Armenia for signing a November cease-fire agreement that ceded parts of the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh region and large swaths of surrounding territory to Azerbaijan. The areas had been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces for a quarter-century before full-scale fighting broke out in late September.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Boston College’s Spencer Knight made 27 saves and the United States opened the first and second periods with two-goal bursts to beat Sweden 4-0 on Thursday night and win Group B in the world junior hockey championship. The United States will face Slovakia — the fourth-place finisher in Group A — in the quarterfinals Saturday. After opening with a 5-3 loss to Russia, the United States reeled off a team-record three straight shutouts, beating Austria 11-0 and the Czech Republic 7-0 to set up the showdown with Sweden for the top spot in the group. Boston College’s Drew Helleson and Boston University’s Trevor Zegras scored in the first four minutes, and Minnesota’s Ryan Johnson and Wisconsin’s Alex Turcotte connected in quick succession early in the second.

ACCRA, Ghana (AP) — A group of military officers burst onto the floor of Ghana’s parliament overnight after an apparent dispute between ruling and opposition party lawmakers ahead of Thursday’s swearing-in ceremony. It was not immediately known who ordered them to enter. Legislators later walked them out. The development followed a December presidential election that tested the West African nation’s reputation as one of the continent’s most politically stable countries. President Nana Akufo-Addo is being sworn in for a second term.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis says he’s praying for the dead in the U.S. Capitol rioting and has appealed for calm to prevail in the United States. In his Sunday remarks at the Vatican, Francis noted that five persons had died when a mob stormed through the building where Congress was meeting on Jan. 6. That meeting was to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Francis said “violence is always self-destructive.” The pope appealed to a “high sense of responsibility” by leaders and public to “calm souls” and help safeguard democratic values rooted in the United States. A mob stormed the Capitol after U.S. President Donald Trump exhorted them to “fight like hell” to protest his U.S. electoral loss.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union has approved 2.9 billion euros in subsidies from 12 member countries to develop a project aiming at developing the electric battery industry. The EU’s executive commission had already cleared a 3.2 billion-euro plan subsidized by seven countries in December 2019 to support research and innovation in a sector where Europe is lagging behind Asian competitors. The EU, which expects that demand for batteries will grow quickly in the coming years, said Tuesday that the latest public funding is expected to unlock an extra 9 billion euros in private investment.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers made sure he’d get the opportunity to play an NFC championship game at home for the first time in his Hall of Fame-caliber career. Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and also ran for a score as the top-seeded Green Bay Packers defeated the Los Angeles Rams 32-18 in an NFC divisional playoff game Saturday. Green Bay’s potent offense overpowered the Rams’ vaunted defense for much of the day. The Packers didn’t allow any sacks despite playing without injured All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari. Green Bay sacked Jared Goff four times.

Robinhood and other online trading platforms are moving to restrict trading in GameStop and other stocks that have soared recently due to rabid buying by smaller investors. GameStop stock has rocketed from below $20 to more than $400 this month as a volunteer army of investors on social media challenged big institutions who has placed market bets that the stock would fall. Among the restrictions announced by Robinhood on Thursday, investors would only be able to sell their positions and not open new ones in some cases, and Robinhood will try to slow the amount of trading using borrowed money.

St. Paul, Minn. (AP) — A fund to help St. Paul businesses affected by vandalism after the death of George Floyd has not yet distributed 75% of the money it raised last year. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that the Midway Fund still has $800,000 in funds designed to help local businesses and nonprofits. Organizers raised over $1.07 million last year and saw an uptick in giving after Floyd’s death in May. The fund has distributed $91,000 to four businesses damaged by vandalism, as well as given grants to community nonprofits. Organizers say the distribution of grants has been slower than anticipated.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is preparing to convene for a new session with lawmakers sworn into office during a tumultuous period. A growing number of Republicans are working to overturn Joe Biden’s victory over President Donald Trump, and a surge of coronavirus infections is imposing limits at the Capitol. When lawmakers gather Sunday, Nancy Pelosi is set to be reelected as House speaker by fellow Democrats, who retain the majority but with the slimmest margin in 20 years. Opening the Senate could be among Mitch McConnell’s final acts as majority leader. Republican control depends on Tuesday’s runoff elections for two Senate seats in Georgia.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A major winter storm blanketed parts of the middle of the country with snow that was forecast to continue into late Tuesday in some areas, disrupting traffic and closing some coronavirus testing sites. The National Weather Service said at least 4 inches of snow fell across most of an area stretching from central Kansas northeast to Chicago and southern Michigan. The weather service forecast the light snowfall that began around sunset Monday in northern Illinois was expected to get heavier overnight, accumulation totaling about three to six inches by early Tuesday. Snowfall in the area could total up to eight inches or more before it ends Tuesday evening.

BEIJING (AP) — The New York Stock Exchange says it no longer plans to remove shares of three Chinese state-owned phone carriers under an order by President Donald Trump. The exchange cited “further consultation” with U.S. regulators but gave no other details of its decision. The NYSE announced plans to remove China Telecom Corp. Ltd., China Mobile Ltd. and China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd. after Trump’s order in November barring Americans from investing in securities issued by companies deemed to be linked to the Chinese military. The Chinese government has accused Washington of misusing national security as an excuse to hamper competition.

"BEIJING (AP) — The New York Stock Exchange says it no longer plans to remove shares of three Chinese state-owned phone carriers under an order by President Donald Trump. The exchange cited “further consultation” with U.S. regulators but gave no other details of its decision. The NYSE announced plans to remove China Telecom Corp. Ltd., China Mobile Ltd. and China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd. after Trump’s order in November barring Americans from investing in securities issued by companies deemed to be linked to the Chinese military. The Chinese government has accused Washington of misusing national security as an excuse to hamper competition.",

CHICAGO (AP) — President Donald Trump repeatedly claimed in the final months of his presidency to have done more for Black Americans than anyone with the “possible exception” of Abraham Lincoln. But in the end, historians say Trump’s legacy and his electoral undoing will be largely shaped by rhetoric aimed at stirring his largely white base that tugged at the long-frayed strands of race relations in America. Princeton University historian Eddie Glaude says that since the civil rights movement, there’s been a tacit agreement in the American political conversation that one could appeal to racial animus, but it had to be done in a particular way. Glaude says “Trump made that all explicit again.”

LONDON (AP) — The U.K.’s competition watchdog has launched a formal investigation into Facebook’s purchase of Giphy over concerns it will stifle competition for animated images. The Competition and Markets Authority said Thursday the investigation’s first stage has a deadline of March 25 to decide whether to trigger to a more in-depth probe. The watchdog started examining the deal last year, shortly after Facebook announced its plan to acquire Giphy in a deal reportedly worth $400 million. Giphy’s library of short looping videos, or GIFs, is a popular tool for internet users sending messages or posting on social media. Facebook said it will fully cooperate with investigation. F

EAU CLAIRE COUNTY (WQOW) - An Eau Claire judge set bond at $25,000 cash Thursday for an Altoona man charged with repeatedly sexually assaulting a child.
The girl told investigators that the assaults by Victor Bellomy began when she was five years old, and continued until she was 12.
She said she wanted to tell her mother, but Bellomy gave her reasons not to, and she believed him. She also said she would initially resist the assaults but then give up because he was strong.
Bellomy returns to court February 9.

Can Trump be charged with inciting a riot? Legal bar is high

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s top White House lawyer has repeatedly warned the president that he could be held responsible for inciting Wednesday’s riot at the Capitol. But the standard for legal liability is high under court decisions reaching back 50 years. According to White House aides, the admonitions from presidential counsel Pat Cipollone were delivered in part to prompt Trump to condemn the violence that was carried out in his name and to acknowledge that he’ll leave office in less than two weeks. Trump followed through in a video from White House on Thursday. But the promise of a wide-ranging aggressive investigation by federal prosecutors of Wednesday’s events has raised the question of Trump’s role in the mayhem.

NEW YORK (AP) — Many media outlets that appeal to conservatives condemned violence in the wake of the riot at the U.S. Capitol following a demonstration by President Donald Trump’s supporters. They offered explanations and deflections, but little in the way of introspection. Dealing with the shocking breach of the national landmark was a complex task for outlets aimed at Trump’s base, many of whom are suspicious of more mainstream news sources. Several conservative commentators said the violence at the Capitol does not negate the grievances of those who believe there were issues with the election, despite numerous courts and officials finding no major irregularities.

O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley is being scolded and blamed for Wednesday’s riots at the U.S. Capitol. Hawley’s political mentor, former Sen. John Danforth, says supporting him was the “worst decision” he’s ever made. The 41-year-old first-term senator has rapidly emerged as one of President Donald Trump’s most loyal backers in Congress, and he staged an Electoral College challenge that became the focus of a violent siege of the Capitol. At least one major donor has turned on Hawley, now calling him a “political opportunist” and urging the Senate to censure him. And one home-state newspaper editorial board declared he has “blood on his hands.”

MAMUJU, Indonesia (AP) — Damaged roads, power blackouts and lack of heavy equipment are hampering Indonesia’s rescuers after a 6.2 magnitude earthquake left at least 42 dead and hundreds injured on Sulawesi island. Operations are focused on about 10 locations in the hardest-hit city of Mamuju, where people are still believed trapped following Friday’s nighttime quake. Cargo planes carrying food, tents, blankets and other supplies from Jakarta landed for distribution in temporary shelters. Still, thousands spent the night in the open fearing aftershocks and a possible tsunami. Many survivors say aid has not reached them yet due to damaged roads. Mamuju city was strewn with debris from collapsed buildings. Patients with drips laid on folding beds under tarpaulin tents outside one of the damaged hospitals.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the fallout of the storming of the Capitol by a mob of pro-Trump loyalists (all times local):
10:30 a.m.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is rejecting suggestions that the United States is a “banana republic” following the assault on the Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump. It’s a highly unusual defense to criticism that hasn’t previously warranted an riposte from America’s top diplomat.
Pompeo is one of Trump’s strongest supporters in the Cabinet and has unstintingly defended him since Trump’s loss to President-elect Joe Biden in November’s election.
He denounced criticism of the U.S. in the wake of the attack on the Capitol as “slander” and decried questions about its democracy in a series of tweets from his personal account late Thursday. He followed up on Friday from his official account, calling the United States the “greatest country on earth” and extolling “American goodness.”
Pompeo wrote that the comparison “reveals a faulty understanding of banana republics and of democracy in America.”
___
10:20 a.m.
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff says President Donald Trump is a “danger to the Republic” and should be removed from office immediately by impeachment, resignation or invoking the 25th Amendment.
Schiff said Friday that Democrats warned during Trump’s impeachment that he would “try to cheat” to remain in office.
Now, he said Trump “lit the fuse which exploded on Wednesday at the Capitol” as a mob loyal to the president stormed the Capitol. Five people died from the mayhem, including a Capitol police officer.
“Every day that he remains in office, he is a danger to the Republic, and he should leave office immediately, through resignation, the 25th Amendment or impeachment,” Schiff said in a statement.
Schiff called Trump “the worst president we have ever had.”
Schiff was the leading manager of the House Democrats’ impeachment of the president in 2019. Trump was later acquitted by the Senate on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress over his dealings with Ukraine.
___
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW A DAY AFTER PRO-TRUMP FORCES BREACHED CAPITOL:
The rampage that has shocked the world and left the country on edge has forced the resignations of three top Capitol security officials over the failure to stop the breach. It’s also led lawmakers to demand a review of operations and an FBI briefing over what they called a “terrorist attack.” And it’s prompting a broader reckoning over President Donald Trump’s tenure in office and what comes next for a torn nation.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON:
10 a.m.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says those responsible for police officer Brian Sicknick’s death from the siege at the Capitol by a mob loyal to President Donald Trump “must be brought to justice.”
Pelosi said Friday she was lowering flags at the Capitol in his honor.
Sicknick died “after defending the Capitol complex and protecting those who serve and work here. The perpetrators of Officer Sicknick’s death must be brought to justice,” she said.
Pro-Trump supporters were urged on by the president Wednesday to the Capitol where Congress was tallying the Electoral College votes to confirm Democrat Joe Biden’s election.
Five people are now dead from the violent melee.
“The violent and deadly act of insurrection targeting the Capitol, our temple of American Democracy, and its workers was a profound tragedy and stain on our nation’s history,” Pelosi said.
___
9:10 a.m.
House Democratic leaders say the House could take up articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump as soon as next week if Vice President Mike Pence and Trump’s Cabinet don’t act to remove him.
Assistant House Speaker Katherine Clark of Massachusetts says the House “can use procedural tools to get articles of impeachment to the House floor quickly,” as early as the coming week, if Pence doesn’t invoke the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
Rep. James Clyburn, the No. 3 House Democrat, says he can confirm that “we have had discussions about it.” The South Carolina Democrat says he hopes Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., “would move forward if the vice president refuses to do what he is required to do under the Constitution. Everyone knows that this president is deranged.”
The 25th Amendment allows for the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare a president unfit for office. That section of the amendment has never been invoked.
On Thursday, Pelosi said the House could move on impeachment if Pence and the Cabinet don’t remove Trump before his term ends on Jan. 20.
Pence hasn’t publicly addressed the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment. But that possibility may have faded after two Cabinet members resigned Thursday in protest after Trump egged on protesters who then mounted an assault on the Capitol the day before.
Clark and Clyburn spoke Friday on CNN.
___
8:40 a.m.
A police officer has died from injuries he suffered when President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol.
And his death is intensifying questions about the defeated president’s remaining days in office and the ability of the U.S. Capitol Police to secure the area.
The Capitol Police say in a statement that Officer Brian D. Sicknick died Thursday.
During Wednesday’s melee, Sicknick was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher, according to two law enforcement officials said.
Those officials could not discuss the ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The officer is the fifth person to die from the attack on the Capitol.
Discussions are underway about Trump’s fitness to remain in office

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand has reported 527 new coronavirus cases, most of them migrant workers who already were isolated, and the government said it was tightening movements of people around the country. Thailand has been struggling with a sudden virus surge after months of hardly any domestic cases. Large parts of the country, including Bangkok, are under various lockdown restrictions. But the government has not yet taken measures as strict as last year’s, when it successfully stamped out local transmission. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha instead implored people to stay home. “We don’t want to lock down the entire country because we know what the problems are, so can you all lock down yourselves?”

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Police in Uganda have confronted opposition presidential candidate Bobi Wine during an online press conference, and he says they fired tear gas and bullets as they swarmed his car. Journalists watched Thursday evening as an officer appeared to drag Wine from the car while he pleaded that he had broken no law. “Please don’t embarrass our country,” he said. The popular singer was announcing that he is petitioning the International Criminal Court to investigate allegations of rights abuses ahead of next week’s presidential election. Wine has fired the imagination of many across Africa as he tries to unseat longtime President Yoweri Museveni.

NEW YORK (AP) — Police have arrested a man in the unsolved slayings of three women in the same building at a New York City housing project for seniors. Officials announced the arrest of 66-year-old Kevin Gavin on Thursday, about a week after a 78-year-old victim was found dead in her Brooklyn apartment with a telephone cord around her neck. The building was the scene of two other killings of elderly women in 2015 and in 2019 that had raised concerns about security lapses in the building. It wasn’t immediately clear if Gavin had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - Criminal charges have been filed against the man suspected in a New Year's morning stabbing in Eau Claire.
James Sande, Eau Claire, is now charged with substantial battery and recklessly endangering safety.
According to the criminal complaint police were called to the Brickhouse Pub and Grub on Birch Street. Sande, who police say appeared very drunk, told officers he was trying to break up an argument between two of his friends when someone he didn't know attacked him, and someone pointed a gun at his face, so he pulled out a knife, and started slashing.
The victim, who was stabbed twice, said he was drunk, and was trying to break up a fight when he was stabbed.
Sande was released on signature bond Tuesday. He returns to court in February.

The Latest: Thailand to expand virus testing at factories
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
BANGKOK — Authorities in Thailand say they plan to expand coronavirus testing to thousands of factories in a province near Bangkok as they reported 365 new cases around the country and one new death.
Authorities have focused their efforts on migrant workers in Samut Sakhon, a province next to the capital that has been the epicenter of a new outbreak and where thousands work in its mainly seafood processing factories and markets.
They have has also focused on trying to trace itinerant gamblers who travel widely around the country and are blamed for a second major hotspot outside Bangkok.
Thailand’s COVID-19 coordinating center said Wednesday that of the 365 new cases, 250 were local transmissions among Thais, 99 were migrant workers and 16 were arrivals to the country isolated in quarantine centers.
That brought the total since the pandemic began to 9,331, including 66 deaths.
Taweesilp Visanuyothin, a spokesperson for the COVID-19 coordinating center, said there were plans to test workers at more than 10,000 factories in Samut Sakhon, 100 of which have more than 500 employees each.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
PRAGUE — Coronavirus infections in the Czech Republic are continuing to surge, hitting a new all-time high.
The Health Ministry says the day-to-day increase reached 17,278 cases on Tuesday. The previous record of 17,045 was set on Dec 30.
New infections started to surge again this week after slowing down during the New Year holidays.
A total of 7,001 COVID-19 patients are currently hospitalized, with 1,004 in serious condition, putting the heath system under pressure. Hospitals are banned from providing any non-vital care to be able to focus on those infected.
A lockdown imposed by the government to contain the surge will be in place at least until Jan 10.
The country of 10.7 million has 776,967 confirmed cases, including 12,436 deaths.

TOKYO — The U.S. Navy in the Pacific has started administering COVID-19 vaccinations to thousands of sailors.
It comes a week after medical personnel and strategic forces were given their initial shots at Naval Hospital in Yokosuka, Japan, the 7th Fleet said.
The fleet includes about 20,000 sailors operating 50-70 ships and submarines and 140 aircraft. The vaccinations are part of a “prioritized, phased approach” adopted by the Department of Defense to “protect our people, maintain readiness, and support the national COVID-19 response,” the fleet said.
Vaccinations are being provided on a voluntary basis. Among those vaccinated were sailors aboard the USS Ronald Reagan, the fleet’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier.
The Navy has battled COVID-19, most notably in March aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, where more than 1,200 personnel were infected. After a memo from the ship’s captain warning of the threat was leaked, he was fired by the then-acting navy secretary, who himself was then fired amid the controversy.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Police have begun conducting compulsory tests on people who fail to wear masks and maintain social distancing at public places, in the latest move to contain the coronavirus.
Police spokesman Ajith Rohana said the tests are in addition to legal action against those violating the quarantine laws.
On Tuesday, police arrested 1,060 people in Colombo and suburbs and 14 of them tested positive for the virus.
A fresh outbreak came in October when two clusters — one centered on a garment factory and the other on a fish market — emerged in and around Colombo. The confirmed cases from the two clusters have reached 41,955 by Wednesday. Sri Lanka has reported a total of 45,728 cases with 217 fatalities.

TOKYO — Tokyo has reported a daily record of 1,591 coronavirus cases as the national government prepares to declare a state of emergency this week to cope with a new wave of infections.
Those needing critical care in the capital also reached a record 113 people, according to the metropolitan government.
Toshio Nakagawa, head of the Japan Medical Association, called the situation “extremely serious” but stopped short of criticizing Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga for acting too slow to contain the latest outbreak, as some have suggested.
Japan has confirmed more than 250,000 cases, including over 3,700 deaths.
___
BEIJING — China’s Hebei province is enforcing stricter control measures following a further rise in coronavirus cases in the province, which is adjacent to the capital Beijing and is due to host events for next year’s Winter Olympics.
The National Health Commission on Wednesday reported 20 more cases had been detected in Hebei, bringing the province’s total to 39 since Sunday.
The province’s top official said Tuesday that residents of areas classified as medium or high risk, primarily neighborhoods in the cities of Shijiazhuang and Xingtai, were being tested and barred from going out.
People in neighborhoods ranked as medium risk can leave only if they show a negative virus test. Classes are shifting to online learning and school dormitories placed on lockdown.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Four police officers in Palm Springs, Calif., have been put in quarantine for 10 days after being exposed to the coronavirus by a man who spit on them while being detained.
The four responded Saturday night to a report of a man throwing things at vehicles, running in and out of traffic and breaking the window of a truck.
The Palm Springs Police Department says two sergeants and two officers had to physically subdue the man, who yelled and spit during the entire event as well as in the back of a police car.
The man was taken for a mental evaluation at a hospital, where he tested positive for a coronavirus infection.
___
ATLANTA — Georgia officials say they have confirmed the state’s first case of the coronavirus variant that was first seen in the United Kingdom.
The Georgia Department of Health said Tuesday that lab tests found an 18-year-old Georgia man is infected with the variant. It says he man had no travel history and is in isolation at his home.
Cases of the United Kingdom variant have also been reported in Colorado, California, Florida and New York.
Georgia health officials say preliminary information suggests the variant is significantly more contagious. State health Commissioner Kathleen Toomey urged residents to continue wearing masks, practicing social distancing and washing their hands frequently.
___
HONOLULU — Hawaii officials splan to have people make online reservations to receive the coronavirus vaccine in order to avoid crowding and long lines at distribution centers.
Health care officials are currently vaccinating health care workers, first responders and those living in long-term care facilities —all people in the highest-priority groups for getting doses.
Next up will be those over age 75, a group estimated to number 109,000 people. The state’s health director says she wants to avoid scenes witnessed in Florida where older adults waited in long lines to receive the vaccine on a first come, first serve basis.
___
SALEM, Ore. — Oregon health officials had a goal of administering 100,000 doses of coronavirus vaccine by the end of 2020, but as of Tuesday had only administered 51,283.
Gov. Kate Brown has now set a new goal of 12,000 vaccinations per day within the next two weeks. Health officials said Tuesday they are confident they can reach the new target if they expand the number of administration sites and adjust prioritization requirements.
In the first phase, priority was given to health care workers and residents and staff at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. Effective this week, state officials will offer vaccinations to hospice programs, mobile crisis care, outpatient settings serving specific high-risk groups, in-home care services, non-emergency medical transport workers and public health workers.
___
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee says some pandemic restrictions will be eased next week and the state will change its reopening plan to move from a county-based oversight system to one focused on regions.
Inslee said Tuesday that the new guidelines will include “a small resumption of some activities statewide.” He says some live entertainment with very tight capacity restrictions and some fitness programs will be allowed.
Also, instead of having each of Washington’s 39 counties treated separately, the state will be divided into eight geographic regions based on health system resources when considering virus oversight.
Since the beginning of the pandemic there have been more than 256,000 confirmed coronavirus infections in Washington and more than 3,480 deaths related to COVID-19.
___
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says the state is taking steps to speed up coronavirus vaccinations.
Some 270,150 doses were distributed to frontline vaccinators over the last three weeks, but as of Tuesday, only 76,916 people had been vaccinated. That is about 1.3% of the state’s population.
The governor says that starting Wednesday, the National Guard will begin sending support teams across the state to help local health departments expand vaccination capacity.
Hogan also is ordering all providers to report data to the state within 24 hours after vaccines have been administered so officials can determine better where help is needed. He says any facility that has not administered at least 75% of its initial vaccine supply may have future allocations reduced until they can speed up vaccinations.
___
SAN FRANCISCO — A hospital in Northern California quickly vaccinated 850 people after a freezer that was holding doses of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine failed, prompting officials to do an emergency distribution before the shots spoiled.
The Adventist Health Ukiah Valley Medical Center in Mendocino County told the Ukiah Daily Journal that it sent 200 doses to the country that were dispensed to county workers, including sheriff’s deputies and jail staff. Jail inmates also received shots.
Eighty doses were sent to nursing homes.
Hospital spokeswoman Cici Winiger says the rest were distributed at four makeshift clinics on a first-come, first-serve basis after the hospital sent out a social media blast alerting people that vaccinations were available.

"BANGKOK — Authorities in Thailand say they plan to expand coronavirus testing to thousands of factories in a province near Bangkok as they reported 365 new cases around the country and one new death.\nAuthorities have focused their efforts on migrant workers in Samut Sakhon, a province next to the capital that has been the epicenter of a new outbreak and where thousands work in its mainly seafood processing factories and markets.\nThey have has also focused on trying to trace itinerant gamblers who travel widely around the country and are blamed for a second major hotspot outside Bangkok.\nThailand’s COVID-19 coordinating center said Wednesday that of the 365 new cases, 250 were local transmissions among Thais, 99 were migrant workers and 16 were arrivals to the country isolated in quarantine centers.\nThat brought the total since the pandemic began to 9,331, including 66 deaths.\nTaweesilp Visanuyothin, a spokesperson for the COVID-19 coordinating center, said there were plans to test workers at more than 10,000 factories in Samut Sakhon, 100 of which have more than 500 employees each.\n___\nTHE VIRUS OUTBREAK:\n— Pandemic haunts new year as virus growth outpaces vaccines\n— Fauci: U.S. could soon give 1 million vaccinations a day\n— California orders surgery delays as virus swamps hospitals\n— Thailand scrambles to contain outbreak, secure vaccines\n— Netanyahu re-election hopes hinge on vaccination campaign\n— Follow AP’s coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-pandemic, https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-vaccine and https://apnews.com/UnderstandingtheOutbreak\n___\nHERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:\nPRAGUE — Coronavirus infections in the Czech Republic are continuing to surge, hitting a new all-time high.\nThe Health Ministry says the day-to-day increase reached 17,278 cases on Tuesday.

Hospitals are banned from providing any non-vital care to be able to focus on those infected.\nA lockdown imposed by the government to contain the surge will be in place at least until Jan 10.\nThe country of 10.7 million has 776,967 confirmed cases, including 12,436 deaths.\n___\nTOKYO — The U.S. Navy in the Pacific has started administering COVID-19 vaccinations to thousands of sailors.\nIt comes a week after medical personnel and strategic forces were given their initial shots at Naval Hospital in Yokosuka, Japan, the 7th Fleet said.\nThe fleet includes about 20,000 sailors operating 50-70 ships and submarines and 140 aircraft. The vaccinations are part of a “prioritized, phased approach” adopted by the Department of Defense to “protect our people, maintain readiness, and support the national COVID-19 response,” the fleet said.\nVaccinations are being provided on a voluntary basis. Among those vaccinated were sailors aboard the USS Ronald Reagan, the fleet’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier.\nThe Navy has battled COVID-19, most notably in March aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, where more than 1,200 personnel were infected. After a memo from the ship’s captain warning of the threat was leaked, he was fired by the then-acting navy secretary, who himself was then fired amid the controversy.\n___\nCOLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Police have begun conducting compulsory tests on people who fail to wear masks and maintain social distancing at public places, in the latest move to contain the coronavirus.\nPolice spokesman Ajith Rohana said the tests are in addition to legal action against those violating the quarantine laws.\nOn Tuesday, police arrested 1,060 people in Colombo and suburbs and 14 of them tested positive for the virus.\nA fresh outbreak came in October when two clusters — one centered on a garment factory and the other on a fish market — emerged in and around Colombo. The confirmed cases from the two clusters have reached 41,955 by Wednesday. Sri Lanka has reported a total of 45,728 cases with 217 fatalities.\n___\nTOKYO — Tokyo has reported a daily record of 1,591 coronavirus cases as the national government prepares to declare a state of emergency this week to cope with a new wave of infections.\nThose needing critical care in the capital also reached a record 113 people, according to the metropolitan government.\nToshio Nakagawa, head of the Japan Medical Association, called the situation “extremely serious” but stopped short of criticizing Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga for acting too slow to contain the latest outbreak, as some have suggested.\nJapan has confirmed more than 250,000 cases, including over 3,700 deaths.\n___\nBEIJING — China’s Hebei province is enforcing stricter control measures following a further rise in coronavirus cases in the province, which is adjacent to the capital Beijing and is due to host events for next year’s Winter Olympics.\nThe National Health Commission on Wednesday reported 20 more cases had been detected in Hebei, bringing the province’s total to 39 since Sunday.\nThe province’s top official said Tuesday that residents of areas classified as medium or high risk, primarily neighborhoods in the cities of Shijiazhuang and Xingtai, were being tested and barred from going out.\nPeople in neighborhoods ranked as medium risk can leave only if they show a negative virus test.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Deadly violence and repressive measures have alarmed observers as Uganda prepares to vote on Jan. 14. Longtime President Yoweri Museveni is challenged by young singer and lawmaker Bobi Wine, who has captured the imagination of many across Africa in a generational clash. Authorities have used the COVID-19 pandemic as a reason to ban rallies in urban areas where Wine has strong support, including the capital, Kampala. In recent days Wine has been arrested and blocked from staying in hotels while campaigning, and one bodyguard was killed. Wine fears for his life as well in the East African nation’s most contentious vote in years.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Niger will hold three days of national mourning after an attack on two villages in the nation’s southwest that killed more than 100 civilians, the government said. After an emergency meeting of the Cabinet called by President Mahamadou Issoufou late Monday, the government said it was also working to strengthen security in the area of the attacks near the border with Mali and will provide support to those living there. The attacks that killed more than 100 civilians in the western villages of Tchombangou and Zaroumdareye took place on the same day that Niger announced that presidential elections would go to a second round on Feb. 21. The attacks are among the deadliest in Niger and come on the heels of several others.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The United States says it has directly “pressed senior levels” of Eritrea’s government to immediately withdraw its troops from neighboring Ethiopia, where witnesses have described them looting and hunting down civilians in the embattled Tigray region. A State Department spokesperson in an email to The Associated Press says Washington has conveyed “grave” concerns about credible reports of abuses. There are no details on how officials with Eritrea, one of the world’s most secretive countries, responded. Ethiopia has repeatedly denied the presence of Eritrean soldiers, who some witnesses have estimated in the thousands. Now concerns are growing that the Eritrean forces refuse to leave.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Vandals lashed out at the U.S. House and Senate speakers over the holiday weekend, blighting their homes with graffiti after Congress failed to approve an increase in the amount of money being sent to individuals to help cope with the coronavirus pandemic. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home in Louisville, Kentucky, was spray-painted early Saturday with messages like “WERES MY MONEY” and “MITCH KILLS THE POOR.” At House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home in San Francisco, someone spray-painted graffiti and left a pig’s head on New Year’s Day. Police in both cities are investigating. Senate Republicans blocked efforts to boost the $600 COVID-19 relief payment to $2,000 on New Year’s Day.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will personally address a gathering of his supporters in Washington Wednesday as he seeks to rally populist support for his last-ditch efforts to overturn his loss to President-elect Joe Biden. The White House confirmed Tuesday that Trump will speak at a rally on the Ellipse just south of the White House. The protests coincide with Wednesday’s congressional vote expected to certify the Electoral College results, which Trump continues to dispute. The rallies have local officials bracing for potentially violent street clashes. With downtown D.C. businesses boarding up their windows, Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested help from the National Guard.

LONDON (AP) — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will find out Monday whether he can be extradited from the U.K. to the U.S. to face espionage charges over the publication of secret American military documents relating to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Whichever side loses is expected to appeal, which could lead to years more legal wrangling. Stella Moris, Assange’s partner, has appealed to President Donald Trump to grant a pardon before he leaves office on Jan. 20 to Assange. U.S. prosecutors have indicted the 49-year-old Assange on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse that carry a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison. Assange says he is a journalist entitled to First Amendment protections.

LONDON (AP) — The British government is facing mounting pressure to keep all schools in England closed for at least two more weeks as a result of surging coronavirus cases. One leading teachers’ union said Saturday that teachers had the right to stay away from the classroom if their work environment was not safe. Britain on Saturday reported another daily record in the number of new infections — over 57,700 in one day. It was the fifth day in a row that new infections were over 50,000 cases. The U.K. is in the midst of a sharp spike in new coronavirus cases as a result of a new, more infectious virus variant. It plans to ramp up vaccinations on Monday using the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.

After riot, fears grow about Trump's final days in office

WASHINGTON (AP) — With 13 days left in President Donald Trump’s term, a nation shaken by the violence carried out in his name is left wondering what he might do next. And there is open talk in Washington about trying to force him from office early. Out of sight in the White House, a cornered president on Thursday was silenced on some of favorite lines of communication and faced the resignations of several top aides, including a Cabinet secretary. And as officials sifted through the aftermath of a pro-Trump mob’s siege of the U.S. Capitol, there was discussion of a second impeachment of the president or invoking the 25th Amendment to oust him from the Oval Office.
